"The Surfer" lyrics
"The Surfer"
Back on the island
Water Tunnel 3
Cage ascending
Someone looks like me
Look up at fingers
Reaching into space
A Roman soldier's spearhead
Jammed above the waist
Heard someone speaking
A voice without a face
The ocean's churning
The cables stay in place
An operation
The locals couldn't save
An undercover agent
Drowned beneath the waves
Outside the confines of a super-mini's door
There's a California king
Placed directly on the floor
Oh, the surfer can't forget
The shells around his neck
But you were born beneath fluorescent lights
You've never seen a starry night
You saint
Fake fortune teller
Scandalized by fate
Broke bodybuilder
Crushed beneath the weight
Lost and deluded
Trying to find your place
Inept long-distance runner
Losing every race
Outside the confines of a super-mini's door
There's a California king
Placed directly on the floor
Oh, the surfer can't forget
The shells around his neck
But you were born beneath fluorescent lights
You've never seen a starry night
You saint

Cold War Kids - "We Used To Vacation" I kissed the kids at noon
Then stumbled out the room
I caught a cab, ran up a tab on 7th & flower
Beth's recital I had to run
Missed my son's graduation
Punched the Nichols boy for taking his seat...
Grizzly Bear - "Mourning Sound" I made a mistake
I should have never tried
I took the cake
Thinning every slice
I moved away
Still playing off the fights
For every day
I share our love delight
I stare at the face
Looking through...
Rilo Kiley - "Silver Lining" And we're not going back
Into rags or in the hole
And our bruises are coming
But we will never fold
And I was your silver lining
As the story goes
I was your silver lining
But now I'm gold
Hooray...
Broken Bells - "After The Disco" After your faith has let you down
I know you'll want to run around
And follow the crowd into the night
But after the disco
All of the shine just faded away
Oh oh oh oh
Do what you want
Do what you...
Coconut Records - "West Coast" For a second there I thought you disappeared
It rains a lot this time of year
And we both go together if one falls down
I talk out loud like you're still around
No, no
And I miss you
I'm goin' back...
